Do polysaccharides consist of polymers?
It woule be more accurate to say that polysaccharides are polymers.
Polysaccharides are polymers of what?
Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, which are carbohydrates. Starch and cellulose are made from glucose. Other polysaccharides are made from mannose, glacturonic acid, galactose, and fructose.
What is a bioadhesive?
A bioadhesive is any of many gums or other naturally occurring polymers which act as adhesives.
What is the definition of semi -synthetic polymer?
semi-synthetic polymers are obtained from natural polymers by subjecting them to some chemical processes. eg: vulcanised rubber.
What polysaccharides are present in starch?
The polysaccharides Amylose and Amylopectin are present in starch, these are both polymers of glucose and they are interconvertible.
How are the polymers cellulose and chitin similar?
Both are carbohydrates,Polysaccharides.
Name some polymers that are produced in nature?
There are several polymers in living beings, for example, proteins, DNA, RNA, and polysaccharides.
What Starch and cellulose are?
They are all polysaccharides made of glucose monomers.
What has the author Ryouichi Ito written?
Ryouichi Ito has written: 'Handbook of carbohydrate polymers' -- subject(s): Polymers, Carbohydrates, Polysaccharides, Synthesis
How are polymers and synthetic polymers similar?
Synthetic polymers contain linkages which are present in natural polymers also , for example nylon (a synthetic polymer) contains pep-tide (also called amide) linkage and proteins also contain the same linkage .. considering that protein is a naturally occurring polymer Btw , not sure if this is the only similarity .. :D
What does polymers mean?
in chemistry the word polymer means a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers.
